    What an incredible day!

    The staff were brilliant! Communication was fantastic and they were really flexible with changes and late additions. The wedding coordinators did a fantastic job, the day ran so smoothly and we didn't need to worry about anything! All the staff were so friendly and could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Everyone had an amazing day! We couldn't have asked for any more!

    Amazing Venue and Staff

    We used Sandy cove as our wedding venue in February and this was incredible. All the staff were really nice and did a great job of talking through the day and how it would go as well as making sure everything went how it should do on the day. The food was incredible through the day (we had the gourmet BBQ and Mexican) an there was more than enough to go round!
    The views speak for themselves no matter the weather and the privacy of the The Venue at Sandy Cove meant the wedding felt personal but still had the positive of having an on site hotel for guests to stay.

    Fantastic hotel with breathtaking views.

    We are not local to Devon but as soon as we found this hotel online we knew it was the one for us and it did not disappoint. The views were breathtaking and the hotel was exceptional. All the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly but an extra special thank you to Sammie, Nadine, Dawn and Kelly who organised and coordinated our special day. We would encourage anyone thinking about getting married at this hotel venue not to hesitate. Xx

    The best day of our life

    We absolutely loved this stunning location and would highly recommend it as a wedding location by the sea. The staff were all very helpful and guided us through our big day with professionalism from start to finish. The team on the day were absolutely brilliant and we couldn't have asked for anything more.

    Perfect Elopement Wedding

    My partner and I booked an elopement package at Sandy Cove as the area has a special place in our hearts. Prior to attending for our wedding, we hadn't seen the venue in person, but had multiple communications, emails and phone calls with the wedding team at the venue. On the evening prior to our wedding we met with a wedding coordinator who was so helpful and kind. She spoke through all of our plans for the following day in great detail, and gave advice on things that may work best. We were very grateful for her accommodating approach, and left our meeting feeling relaxed and excited for the day ahead. The day of the wedding couldn't have gone any smoother. Everything that had been discussed in our meeting went exactly as we were expecting. Our wedding coordinator was incredible - she was always very close by ensuring everything went perfectly, and equally ensured that we all had our space considering how intimate the wedding was. The venue itself is stunning - the indoor and outdoors spaces are immaculate and beautifully presented. The photos you see online can't do it justice - when you're there in person, it's the most magical place. Every member of staff that we encountered during our time at Sandy Cove was so friendly and helpful. We had the most perfect day, made some incredible memories and cannot recommend Sandy Cove more highly.

    Absolutely Amazing Wedding!

    Our wedding at the Sandy Cove hotel was absolutely amazing. The views, the location, everything was perfect! The wedding team are amazing at getting back to you via email (I must have sent a million emails with different questions ha)! The NEW getting ready room is absolutely INSANE! Absolutely stunning! You have a breakfast area for all of your bridesmaids to eat at and then there is basically a salon at the end! I wish I could do it all again!! My guests have commented on how beautiful my wedding venue was! Thanks again!

    Absolute perfection!

    I arrived at Sandy Cove a couple of days before the wedding to get settled in and have some chill out time before the big day.
    From the moment I arrived I felt like I was the only bride there! Even though I know they are extremely busy making many brides dreams come true, I honestly felt like the only one! Everyone was so attentive, seemed to know who I was at every given turn and made me feel so special. Nothing was too much trouble, all the staff were so kind, friendly, thoughtful and helpful.

    The day itself ran like clockwork. All of the decorations were laid out without fault, nothing was too much trouble and was in our eyes absolute perfection. Despite the rain, it really was the best day of our lives and we will be eternally grateful to you and the whole of Sandy Cove for making it happen for us.

    Incredible

    Our wedding was perfect from start to finish. We had the exclusive use hotel and venue for Friday and Saturday, this worked perfectly for our guests who were travelling long distances to celebrate with us. Having breakfasts together each morning was really special too, I loved that the celebrations continued all weekend not just for one day! There is nothing I would have changed about our wedding day. The venue itself, view, staff, wedding co-ordinators and Kelly and Dawn were amazing! We couldn’t recommend them enough

    Every member of staff I came in contact with!

    I wanted to say another special to all the amazing staff who made the day so magical. The gorgeous reception staff on check in, to Micheal and those who set up our gorgeous tables, Chloe our co ordinator! For being so brilliant and nothing being too much trouble. We did end up going to meet the registrars a bit behind schedule but because my Dad came and surprised me and my sisters with a gift from my late Nan. Chloe was so amazingly respectful letting my Dad have his moment with us - as sorry as I am for it pushing us behind slightly - so thank you for that Chloe. Thank you for being so patient with my million questions! And for making me feel so at ease and so comfortable - that’s to you as well Sammy! Thank you to the bar staff that evening, we had so many people celebrating with us and they definately took up residence at the bar so thank you for working so incredibly hard. Thank you for those who helped move our belongings from room to room and helped us try square everything away at the end of the evening as quickly as possible! Thank you to Glen (please tell me I remembered his name)! the restaurant manager for accommodating our bridal breakfast and for Lisa who looked after us that morning. Thank you to Jess for being so patient with my table plans! And finally thank you to Dawn who I do refer to as my fairy godmother for making all this happen. We had a couple of hiccups in the morning with make up artists not turning up and bouquets being wrong but all I remember is the full on magic at Sandy Cove. The most amazing venue and honestly the most incredibly welcoming staff throughout. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
